🏈 Matchup Notes

Week 5 was gentler than September, but not by much. David Montgomery is week-to-week with a groin injury, Will Shipley has a partial tear of his plantar fascia on top of Saquon Barkley's hamstring, and Quinshon Judkins was seen in a walking boot after the game. TreVeyon Henderson, T.J. Hockenson, Deebo Samuel, and Michael Penix all left early, and Arizona traded Marvin Harrison Jr. to Houston.

Waivers run tonight and Wednesday in most leagues, and Woody Marks, Germie Bernard, and Dameon Pierce are the names to chase. The bye crunch starts now, with the Bengals, Dolphins, Lions and Vikings all off. Set lineups early: Seahawks and Broncos open Week 6 on Thursday night, and Texans-Jaguars is in London on Sunday morning.

Nick Hennion, BetMGM, October 12
